THAT indianapolis should have been
chosen as the place of meeting Tor the 9ext
annual convention Of the Music Teachers
National Association is much to our credit.
The success which attended the efforts of
the g. A. R. in the Musical Festival of last
season, and other successful efforts in enter
tanning large numbers of people, together
with its central location, probably induced
the official committee of the association to
choose Indianapolis in preference to Boston,
or any other of the Eastern cities which of
fered entertainment for the delegates. The
object of the association is to promote pro-
fessional proficiency, and to elevate the
standard of musical taste and musical cult
ure throughout the country. Already ten
annual meetings have been held in various
Eastern cities, and efforts made to pro-
mote their object have met with
great success. There will probably be a
visiting membership here of twelve or
fifteen hundred, and thus it may be Judged
the importance of the event is considerable
Three grand concerts will be given during
the session of the association. Special pro-
grammes, arranged by the national commit
tee, will be rendered, with the assistance Of a
number Of renowned soloists and the finest
orchestra that can be engaged. The expenses
attending the giving of the concerts to be
borne by the local committee, will include
only the cost of orchestra, advertising and
providing the hall in which to give the con-
certs and a place of meeting for the delegates
to transact the business of the association. It
is proposed to give the concert in Tomlinson

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

There is something impressive and touching
in the deep interest taken by the old veterans
in the soldiers monument movement Nothing
could be more unsefsh They have nothing
to gain by it. They are under no greater OBJ
legations to honor the cause for which the sol
diers fought than other citizens are; on the
contrary, it might be said they have done their
share. And yet they are intensely interested
in the movement. It springs from feeling
of comradeship from the warm and tender
memories they have of the days that tried
mems souls, from love for the cause they
fought for and for all who fought with them.
1t almost seems as if it might be said, once
soldier always soldier; at least, it is certain
that a true soldier never forgets the duties of
soldiers to take the lead in movement for
soldiers monument. 1t is natural that they
should wish to join in the movement, but 9TH
ers should take the lead. The State, through
its General Assembly, should meet the vet
Grams more than half way, and be proud to
bear voluntary testimony to their patriotic
services in the Nations hour of need In
mere dollars and cents it would be
worth more than 100000 to Indiana
to erect soldiers monument costing that
sum. Travellers, American and foreign,
would go out Of the way to see it. The uni
versal, omnipresent drummer would talk
about it. It would be spoken of in artistic
and literary circles. It would be mentioned
in history, and men seeking a new place Of
residence would be drawn to the State which,
among the greatest in wal, was the most
grateful in peace. Thus, as a mere advertise
ment, it would pay the State in dollars and
cents. But there is far higher view-that
of the States duty to the memory Of its he
roes. If that does not appeal to man.
sensibility, nothing else will.
In furtherance Of the monument movement
the old soldiers propose to give public enter
tainment in Tomlinson Hail. on Wednesday
evening, Feb. 9. A leading feature of the
evening will be lecture by Rev. Alex. Black
burn, late chaplain G. A. R., on 'Gen. Geo.
III. Thomas and the Army of the Cumber-
land" Tickets of admission will be issued,
which can be obtained, without charge from
members of the Geo. HI. Thomas Post and
others.

IT is fact worth thinking of that the United
States government is now spending more
money every year for pensions than any other
government is spending for the pay of its
troops. 1t is true, European troops do not

pensions to men who have ceased fighting
than to pay wages to those who are expected
